PITTSBURGH, PA (October 26, 2016) — Affordably priced for entry-level marking applications and operations seeking to replace continuous inkjet systems, the new eMark Eco laser coding system from Matthews Marking Systems is engineered for simple coding on primary packaging materials, including cardboard boxes, paper and thermal labels. It is ideal for applications including food, beverage, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and industrial. A demo model of the eMark Eco can be seen in Booth S-3429 throughout PackExpo International at McCormick Place in Chicago, November 6-9, 2016.

Because it requires no ink or consumables to mark items, and is maintenance-free, the eMark Eco offers a lower total cost ownership than other imprinting technologies. Clean and environmentally friendly, the unit produces vector-quality, permanent coding of alphanumeric text, date and time codes, serial numbers, barcodes and 2D codes with a 10-watt power class, air-cooled CO2 laser.

The eMark Eco is a compact 20 inches (533 millimeters) long, and weighs 15 pounds (7 kilograms) for easy integration into new and existing production lines. Features include a built-in start/stop key and LED status indicator lights. Optionally, a hand-held touchscreen interface terminal includes user-friendly preview, edit and new job creation modes for system and project setup.

The eMark Eco laser coding system can be seen in Booth S-3429 throughout PackExpo. For more information, contact Lyndsey Farrow at Matthews Marking Systems at 412.665.2536, [email protected], or visit matthewsmarking.com.
